JOHN WOO PRESENTS STRANGLEHOLD ARTICLES

November 20, 2007 - Stranglehold is John Woo's first foray into videogames. Whether Woo was intimately involved in guiding Stranglehold or more of a watchful father, his influence can be felt in every frame. Midway has managed to capture the essence of a Woo film -- in some ways more than Woo has over the past decade. You get everything a fan could ask for: excessive gunplay, heavily-stylized cinematic moments, melodrama, slow-motion dives, dual-fisted pistols, and, of course, doves aplenty. Some have called Woo's films a beautiful ballet of violence. Stranglehold is less ballet and more a mosh pit of bullets. Either way, lots of people die and little in the environment is left standing once the smoke clears.

August 24, 2007 - The 1992 movie Hard Boiled is often considered one of the finest Hong Kong "blood operas" of all time. Starring Chow Yun Fat as Inspector Tequila, and having the distinction of being famed director John Woo's last film before he relocated to Hollywood, Hard Boiled is a rather remarkable piece of cinema. Considering the intensely choreographed non-stop action that results in a 307-person body count by the end, one can imagine it could have been turned into a remarkable video game as well.

June 22, 2007 - PS3 owners weren't as overcome with software as they thought they'd be this past spring, but the summer is a totally different story.

Highlighted below are most of the season's biggest titles, so be sure to look for them at your local retailer between the dual-21sts of June and September.
